Why did I just realize that the saying “girls mature faster than boys” is just another way that accepting their incompetence has been engraved into our heads ??!!

Yeah but it’s also in part true because women are socialized to be more competent and responsible it’s the same reason they say when they want kids they want a boy because “they’re easier”. They’re actually not , it’s just socially acceptable for people to feel comfortable being lazier raising boys.

They choose to teach one to be a mature adult and the other to be seen as a responsibility added to the future children.

i meant it in the context of demeanor because boys are considered more childish compared to girls the same age
